After seeing Utuy's photograph, an additional victim came forward
and provided a statement to detectives linking him to this
unrelated crime.

The extensive investigations into both crimes, have led detectives
to believe that there may be an additional victim; a male by the
name of Alex. Detectives are asking for the public's assistance and
ask that if anyone recognizes Utuy to please come
forward.

On Monday, October 31, 2016, around 5:15 p.m., Newton Area patrol
officers responded to a radio call of an "Assault with a Deadly

information that the victim, "Baby Ruby," was on her way to a local
hospital in a private vehicle. Officers also learned that the
victim had sustained a stab wound.

Officers responded to the hospital, where they learned that "Baby
Ruby" had succumbed to her injuries.

The officers met with the mother of "Baby Ruby," who advised them
that the stabbbing occurred at her place of employment in the 800
block of McGarry Street.

The police investigation revealed that " Baby Ruby" had just been
picked up from daycare to be with her mother when the suspect
stabbed "Baby Ruby" without warning. Although the suspect and "Baby
Ruby's" mother worked at the same location, they had minimal
